Nigeria Police Force Lays Ribadu To Rest

The dangling lid of the fate of the dethroned EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu, was yesterday driven home with a cold nail by the Police Service Commission. In a style akin to that of an undertaker, Nuhu Ribadu was demoted to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police. In the hey days of Obasanjo, Ribadu was rapidly promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General (AIG) and this ruffled feathers in the Nigeria Police Force.

With the exit of Olusegun Obasanjo, the table was turned against Obasanjo loyalists and among the first causalities was EFCC. EFCC was perceived by some people as a tool of witch hunt in the hands of Obasanjo and was a willing tool in the disqualification of “credible” politicians up to the eve of their party primaries. Ribadu has been quoted as boasting that no corrupt politician will contest 2007 election. With the results in and challenged in all quarters, Nigerians are agape that such amount fraud could be perpetuated by politicians supposedly cleared by EFCC.

With immediate alacrity, Ribadu was sent on course to be better equipped to work in EFCC, but before informed Nigerians could come to his rescue, a new EFCC was appointed and his study leave became out right removal from the commission. Not done with the distancing of Ribadu from the activities of the commission, a group of ex-governors, believed to have a born to crack with Ribadu, is believed to be using the new Chairman Mrs. Waziri to find a Rule of Law means to dampen the corruption charges against them.

It is on record that the current Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondakaa did a series of contentious matter with the EFCC and there was no love lost between the duo.

This current two steps backwards demotion of Ribadu, is seen as a Rule of Law solution to the trial of ex-governors.
